ISS Moon transit an amazing sight!!

Tonight, I joined friends of the club to witness a space station Moon transit; perfect weather, a beautidul crescent Moon, Atlantis docked and 2 astronauts outside....and what we hoped occured: ISS crossed the Moon at 19:58 CET!! We all shouted out of joy (I made 175 km just for a split second event); My friends have much better pictures. Through the binos, I could go on following the station even long after it entered the shadow (because of the lights for the EVA).

And I just learned Frank De Winne gets a 6 months long flight aboard the ISS for 2009: it's official!
